egister in ARM selects a new circuit on the route or on an alternative<br />

route. The repeater which did not receive a call-confirmation signal initiates<br />

a retest procedure consisting of transmission of the sequence 1 second stop<br />

polarity and 29 seconds start polarity. This continues until either a callconfirmation<br />

signal is received or until the maintenance personnel take action<br />

in response to an alarm, which is issued when the retest signalling has proceeded<br />

for about 3 minutes.<br />

Prevention of Character Printing on Clearing of Call<br />

With single current, unless special measures are taken, characters may<br />

sometimes be printed on the teleprinter of one subscriber in conjunction with<br />

the clearing of a call. If the A subscriber clears, characters will be printed on<br />

the B subscriber's teleprinter, and vice versa. To avoid this, a special signal<br />

is used on the subscriber line which receives a clearing signal (see signal<br />

diagram). The breaking of the subscriber's loop, which indicates clearing, is<br />

allowed to last for max. 150 ms, after which the idle circuit condition is<br />

restored. After the recognition time for the clearing signal, 400-600 ms, the<br />

polarity of the subscriber's line is reversed and the current returns to the free<br />

line value.<br />

International and Intercontinental Signalling<br />

In the introduction to Re<strong>com</strong>mendation U J, CCITT stipulates: "the outgoing<br />

country should conform to the signalling requirements of the in<strong>com</strong>ing<br />

country." This is an important principle and has a great effect on the design<br />

of international and intercontinental telex exchanges.<br />

The international telex exchange in Madrid, for example, must interwork<br />

with the following signalling systems for fully automatic subscriber-controlled<br />

international traffic to<br />

• Spain, i.e. Spanish national<br />

network<br />

Type B with keyboard selection, printed service<br />

signals and automatic tripping of Spanish B subscriber's<br />

answer-back.<br />

• Austria, Denmark, Ger- Type B with dial selection but without printed<br />

many, Switzerland service signals and without automatic tripping of<br />

B subscriber's answer-back in the respective countries,<br />

which is instead done from the Madrid<br />

centre.<br />

] UK, Portugal Type B with dial selection and printed service<br />

signals but without automatic tripping of B subscriber's<br />

answer-back, which is instead done from<br />

the Madrid centre.<br />

• Yugoslavia Type B with keyboard selection, printed service<br />

signals and automatic tripping of B subscriber's<br />

answer-back.<br />

• Italy Type B with keyboard selection, printed service<br />

signals, automatic tripping of B subscriber's<br />

answer-back together with sending of date and<br />

time.<br />
